The tone and the DI SP message
Frigidaire refrigerators fitted with an ice dispenser use DI SP, or DISP, to report an ice jam. The alarm sounds because a cube has stayed in the dispenser chute too long.
Frigidaire’s clearing sequence
Inspect the dispenser for stuck cubes and remove them.
If that does not do it, lift out the ice bin, let the ice thaw and empty the bin completely.
Clean the container and dry it well.
Return the bin to its correct position.
After fresh ice has been made, the dispenser should go back to normal operation.

H or HI: the cabinet has been too warm for more than an hour
A chute that jams again after the bin was cleaned is a case for Frigidaire refrigerator repair in San Francisco and around the Bay Area. Call (415) 319-6371 and tell us the model number and that the bin was emptied, cleaned and dried.
Model compatibility: Frigidaire reuses codes across series and model years, so DI SP may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
DI SP, also shown as DISP, signals an ice jam in the dispenser chute and sounds a tone.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
